Looks Too Good To Be True.com
Every day, American consumers receive offers that just sound too good to be true.
In the past, these offers came through the mail or by telephone. Now the con artists
and swindlers have found a new avenue to pitch their frauds — the Internet. The
on-line scams know no national borders or boundaries; they respect no investigative
jurisdictions. But, as with all scammers, they have one objective — to separate
you from your money!
An interesting point about fraud is that it is a crime in which you decide on whether
to participate. Hanging up the phone or not responding to shady mailings or emails
makes it difficult for the scammer to commit fraud. But con artists are very persuasive,
using all types of excuses, explanations, and offers to lead you — and your money
— away from common sense.
This website was developed to arm you with information so you don't fall victim
to these Internet scam artists. Education, good judgment, and a healthy dose of
skepticism are the best defenses against becoming a victim. Remember, if it looks
too good to be true, it probably is!
